Arnold Schwarzenegger says he had no idea what awaited him when he entered couples therapy with wife Maria Shriver last year. "The minute we sat down, the therapist turned to me and said, 'Maria wanted to come here today and to ask about a child—whether you fathered a child with your housekeeper Mildred,'" writes Schwarzenegger in his new tell-all book, Total Recall. Schwarzenegger 'fessed up to his infidelity and immediately groveled, calling Shriver the "perfect wife" and saying she still turned him on.

Dishing on the book's most explosive chapter, the New York Daily News recounts how Schwarzenegger slept with married housekeeper Mildred Baena in 1996 and refused to believe her son was his—until the resemblance became overpowering. "I blocked out the fact that as a husband and father, as a man with a family and wife, I was letting people down," he writes. Ascribing his motive for the affair to stupidity and arrogance, Schwarzenegger writes that he still hopes to reunite with Shriver: "You can call this denial, but it’s the way my mind works."

Geez, cheat on your wife, father a child with someone else, then write a book about it? I have lost all respect for this clown.

Are you a man? Have you ever done anything stupid? Have you ever had human weaknesses? If you said no to 2nd and 3rd question you are a liar. You are a person who is not of honesty and truthfulness. Judgemental. Arnold Schwarzenegger has given so much of himself. Coming from nothing. Making something of himself. Mr. Universe etc..Film Industry...and Governor of California... Not bad. What have you done? He said he is sorry for his mistake. At times his choice of words are not the smoothest...but he tries. For a man of his age, and look as good physically as he does, tells that he is a man of good and moral character. Yes I wish him to reunite with Maria...she is beautiful. They have beautiful children. Even his boy by the maid is handsome...somehow, in time will be brought into the fold. Maria is not vindictive. She has class. Let's pray that they can come back together, forgiving, especially with the holidays coming up.
